DEATH OF BOSS TILLMAN. Instantly Killed by Lightning Near Brevard, N. C. STORY OF THE TRAGEDY AS TOLO EY A G ENTLEMAN WHO Saw IT THE REMAINS CARRIED THROUGH . COLUMRIA TO TRENTON. Colombia Rtgistcr. Miss Addie Tillman spent sev eral yearn of her life in Columbia and had f. host of friends in this city. The brief announcement in yesterday's Register that she had .been killed by lighting in the mountains of North Carolina caus ed general sorrow in this city and throughout the- State. There was general anxiety to learn the par ticulars of the sad affair, but they were unobtainable until last night, when the body-of the unfortunate young lady was brought to the city on the train from Asheville, which arrived about 9:30 o'clock. ?'here were nearly 200 people at the Union depot last night, when the train arrived, and many were the expressions of heartfelt sorrow and sympathy. Full details of the tragedy were obtained (rom Mr. T. C. McNeely, general agent of the Henderson ville aud Brevard Railroad, who was with Mies Tillman when she was killed, and who accompanied the remains to Columbia. Mr. Mc Neely said: "Miss Addie Tillmau was visit ing her friend, Miss Nettie Ad dicken of Heudersonville. Wed nesday morning a party left Hen dorsonville to go to Brevard and ascend Rich Mountain. In the party were myself, Mr. H. F. Ad dickes, Jr., and Miss Nettie Ad dickes of Heudersonville, N. C.; Miss Addie Tillmau, Miss Mae 0'Bryan of Allendale, S. C., who was accompanying Miss Tillman on ber visit to Miss Addickes; Miss Lizzie Bingham of Salisbury, N. C.; Miss Annie Warren of Han dersouville, N. C.; Rev. Robt. A. Lee of Yorkville, S. C., an Ep'sco pal minister, who was visiting Mr. and Mrs. Addickes; and Mr. M. D. Cooper of Brevard, a geutlemau about 50 ye irs old, who was in charge of the party as guide and cicerone. "The party left Hendersonviile at 9:30 a. m , Wednesday and ar rived in Brevard at ll :30. Horses were obtained and the party start ed to ride to the summit of Rich Mountain, about six miles distant, leaving Brevard at 12:30 p. m. At 3:30 p.m., we were about three fourths of a mile from tho sum mit ef the mountain. A storm was approaching, and all of the party except Miss Till m on, Mr. Le3 aud myself pushed on and reached the summer home of Mr. Wm. H. Trescoit of Charleston be fore th* storm broke. We three s topped in order for Miss Tillman aud myse'f to exchange horse?. After exchaLgin'g, Miss Tillman remounted. It commenced rain-, ingand'sh?, Mi. Lee and'myself got under a clump of ohestnut Tees for shelter from the storm. About forty feet from us was a tall oak tree. "Slr. Le?: was nearest the oak, standing and holding his horse by the bridle. Miss Tillman was seated on her horse, holding an umbrel la over her head. I had moved awe.y about fifteen or twen ty feet to get on a stump and mount my horse. Suddenly a bolt of lightning struck the oak and then came oar way. Mr. Lee aud his horse and Miss Tillman and her horse were killed instant ly, all falling to the ground. My horse was inocked over, but not killed. By that time the bolt had expended itself and I only felt a slight shock to the baud which I had on my horse's bridle. "I immediately ran to them, but they were dead, having been killed instantly. They were only slight ly burned. There was no disfigura tion as a result of the stroke. I obtained a wagon from Mr. Mc Creery, a farmer who lived near by, and conveyed the bodies lo Mr. Trescott's house and thence lo Brevard. Mr. Carroll and Miss Plea8ants of Asheville, who were also ascending the mountain, reached Mr. Trescott's house about the same time as the first section of our party. They were exceed ingly kind in helping us care for the corpses. uWe left Brevard at ll :30 p. m. Wednesday and arrived in Hen dersonviile at 1 a. m. Thursday, the surviving members of the par ty accompanying the bodies to that point. Immediately tele graphed the families of Miss Till man and Mr. Lee. The bodies were brought to South Carolina to-day. Mr. Lee's remains were taken to the home of his father, Mr. J. F. Lee, in Abbeville, for interment. Mr. Lee was about 32 years old and single. It. was impossible for Mr. Addickes to leave his family, BO I accompanied the remains.of Miss Tillman to Columbia and will go to Trenton to afend the funeral." Mr. Mc.NV ly had a miraculous escape from death by tho bolt which killed his companions. Their sudden and terrible death in his presence was a severe shock. Mr. J. W. Bunch, an uncl* of Miss Tillman, and Private Secre tary Gunter went to Spartauburg yesterday morning to meet the train bearing Miss Tillman's re mains and accompany them to Co lumbia. Governot Evans had obtained a special train to convey Miss Till man's iemainsto her father's home in Trenton. When the train from Asheville arrived, the casket was transferred to the special train, being borne by six of the young men ?mployed in Ihe State House. Many beautiful wreaths and bou quets of lovely flowers were brought to the depot h.st night by friends of Miss Tillman, to be placed on her casket. Governor Evans,his mother and h s ?iater, Mr. J. W. Bunch and wife, Private Secretary Gunter, General John Gary Watts, itfr. McNeely, Mies Lona Tillman and B. R. Tillman, Jr., accompanied the remains on the special train. Yourg Tillman came down from Clemson College yesterday after noon His sister, Miss Lona Till man, who had b;;en visiting friends iu Abbeville, came to Columbia on thu fame train with him. They were prostrated with grief at the untimely death of their ehier sis ter. The funeral will be held to-day at H'gh View Church, about twelve miles from Trenton at 12 o'clock. Most of the State House officials will go to Trenton to-day to attend the funeral. Mies Addie Tillman, was theel dest child of Senator and Mrs. B. R. Tillman. She was boru in Edgefleld County and received her primajy education there. When her father was elected Governor in 1890,she came to Columbiajto live. She attended the public school here several years and was popular with teachers and scholars, be cause of her winning ways and 8tudicus habits. After spending i a year at Hollins Instituto in Vir ginia, she entered Winthrop Col- ' lege when it opened its session at Rjck Hill. She was a hard student j there, ai d had already won the j love - and esteem of her teachers aud fellow students. She' was en joying her summer vacation, when death called her from enjoyment . of youth, health aud good spirits to the greater joys of the realms where there is no death: All who came in contact with her liked her aud 3he will be long and sincerely j mourned. Her father, mother and > family will have the sympathy of j the entire State in their hour of y sore affliction. To thc Teachers of Ed?rc?eld and Saluda Counties: Then? will be a ''Teachers' In stitute'' held at Johnston, open- j iugJuly27ih and ending Arg..3rd, and wo wish ever)' teacher to at tend during the whole session. Wo ( have attempted lo prepare an in teresting programme. It .is quito j different from any we have ever \ har!, and we hope every teacher ^ will come to take part iu this \ meet i i. g of teachers. We know that many of our teachers, who are working hard to prepare themselves to do b^t'er work in this sch joh, will be here to spend the' week with us. We have other teachers, in these two counties, however, who do not even try lo fit themselves for their vo cation, and we wish lo arouse this class of teachers to their duty. We shall name them the self-satisfied class. Tliey seem to feel that they have attained ail that needful for their work, aud now !,hey distrib ute their great wisdom at & given price.. This is a very dangerous coudition for a teacher to fall iuto. A teacher must be alive lo teach succesfully A dead coal can nev- | er give off heat; neither can a dead teacher give anything to his < ^pupils. 1 .In speaking in this manner we i would not have air, one to lbink . we know it all, or that we feel su- ' perior to him or her. We have la- . bored much in preparing for our life work, and yet we feel far more t incompetent than when we began c to teach. Indeed, our ignorance t impresses us more and morejas the 1 days go by. This feeling, however, e is thought to be wholesome. s The doctor is required to go to a professional school to fit himself r to do bis work well, he spends sev eral years in careful study that he may be skillful in treating the hu man body. This is well, as it would be hard to get along without good doctors ; more yet, the progressive j doctor does not stop his study when he leaves collage, but he reads much, attends medical associa- e tions, ond equips himself with 1 whatever will give him high stand ing in his profession. No one is willing to say that the doctor errs in doing all this. If it, is needful . ful for the doctor to provide him self with all that gives him skill in his profession', how much more is it essential for tho teacher to be progessive. He is in charge not only of the child's body, but also of his mind and soul, is not his, then, a higher duty? 1 The Normal college is provided \ for the teacher to prepare himself for his work, but many of those who teach have not the raeaus to spend several years in College. To those, especially, the Teachers' Iustitute offers much help. . The Institute is sometimes termed a .'Normal College on wheels." Teachers can not always go to it, so it comes to them. The purpose of tho "Institute is four fold ; first, teachers g<-t a re view of the text book work; the work in text books at an "Insti tute" can only be typical, however, in tho second place, they get a glimpse of the be?t methods of leaching. This is very important. Next, they should gei many ol' the urinciples of the science of educa tion, an idea of the History of Pedagogy. Lastly, when teachers come together they imbibe a pro fessional spirit, which is of vast importance, indeed, ft teacher eau scarcely do effective work without it. L?t every teacher meetus July 27th. We assure you that we shall do the best we can co make the moeting profitable. J. H. LEWIS, Institute Conductor. Cures Nervous Troubles and In digestion. Mr. W. T. Nelson, president of the Secoud National Bank, of Jackson, Teun. says: "For indi gestion and nervous trouble, I would rather give up any remedy than King's Royal Germetuer. As a nerve tranquilizer and restOra tive, it 'sall that ian be desired. It if not a i.arcotic in any sense, but produces the happiest effects upon the disordered nervous sys tem. 1 cousider it an invaluable remedy, and have for several years recommended it to my friends."
